5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly the most accurate, for being so little!, July 4, 1999

By A Customer

If you're interested in astrology, but you don't know where to start this is a great little book. It has absolutely EVERYTHING you want to know about the zodiac and some Chinese Horoscopes, as well. It's straight and to the point, and I carry it with me everywhere for handy reference at any time. A definite must if you're into that mystikal stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars 80% Accuracy, June 2, 2002

By A Customer

This book is very interesting. It gives you detailed information about each zodiac sign as well as the Chinese astrology. This book seems to be 80% accurate on the zodiac signs. It describes your characteristic traits, personality, work, occupations, love, sex, your childhood, parenting, and which zodiac sign you get a long with and dont. The Chinese astrology chart is not that accurate...probably about 40% accurate. I recommend this book to anyone who is into the zodiac signs and the signs of their friends and family.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute Lil' Reference Guide, September 25, 2000

By	"firerizing" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

I personally like this book because it blends both Chinese astrology and Modern astrology together. It is about four inches tall at best, about three inches wide and maybe two inches thick. It is great for carrying with you to work or on the subway to read. I also like how the authors have listed the common characterisitcs for kids, adults, males, females, parents, bosses, co-workers, employees...whoever you may come across in life. If you know a persons sun sign or even just a birthdate, you will find not onl a generalized decription of them, but also how they will tend to act and react in situations. Also, how to get them to bend. Now I wouldn't call it a must have, but it sure is a nice reference and ice breaker. I keep it with me at work and it never fails to catch someone's eye.
